Tracker page should provide a link to the "next step"

Details

Description

This may belong in Hadoop Core, or maybe more about Hive integration with Hadoop, but many queries these days take multiple steps or mapreduce phases. It would be lovely if a "finished" mapreduce from a Hive query that has several steps could provide a link to the tracker page for the next mapreduce step.

I don't think that this will get into hadoop core as they probably don't want to put in hive specific code into hadoop. Having said that Edwards fix does solve this in the Hive web interface..
Edward,
Changes look good. Is it possible to add a test case to test the new function.
Thanks,
Ashish

The test cases are running in local mode, as a result the running job produces no TASK_HADOOP_ID and there is nothing to link to. So in local mode I do not think I can produce a test case for the function.

added a comment - 26/Apr/09 09:15 I suppose we can add a test case for this once the MiniMR cluster work that is being done by Namit gets done as then you would get the TASK_HADOOP_ID. Can you open a JIRA for the tests that depends on
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-204
Otherwise,
+1 from my side. Will run the tests and commit once the test runs are good.
